r/GoogleWallet

For the last few week Google Wallet hasn't been making me use my pin, which at first was cool because I didn't have to fumble with it when I was paying at gas stations, but then I realized if someone had my unlocked phone they would be able to use my cards...

It started out just not resetting when I didn't fully close the app (even hours later), and now it's not resetting at all. Anyone had a similar issue and knows how to fix it?

Thank you!

I use Google wallet on a samsung z fold 7 and as much as Google wallet does its job, 90% of the time I have the issue where I tap my phone, payment fails and it asks for finger print. Google wallet doesn't accept face ID so I find myself having to get my phone out and unlock it with my finger print before it picks up my face, sometimes it works, mostly it doesn't. Is there anyway that as soon as you open Google wallet it asks for finger print? I appreciate i could change the phone settings to only unlock with finger print/pin/pattern etc but why should customers change how they use their devices all for one app.

Has anyone had or heard of an issue where a bank, specifically Wells Fargo, will completely block a phone from having their issued cards added to it?

I have a Pixel 9 Pro XL and with some back and forth between Wells Fargo and Google, apparently Wells Fargo has my phone on a bad device list preventing any card from being added to my phone.

I have been able to add all my other credit cards from other financial institutions with no issue, this issue is with WF alone. I even asked the support agent, if I hypothetically opened a new credit card with them and added the card, would it work. He told me no since this block is on the device level.

Why is only WF having issue with this phone? It is carrier locked phone, and I have never reported fraudulent activity with these accounts; of which the support agent tells me it is on this list because of "potential" fraudulent activity. He also tells me that this decision is permanent.

Thanks for any info or feedback.

Hey...everyone? Not sure if this is a community run by cyber security fanatics or just Google employees. So, I was recently part of a data breach and I've been getting hacked. I've taken the steps I can: called the credit bureaus and put a security freeze in place, been strengthening stupid passwords (it's so bad. Y'all don't even want to know how many times I've reused passwords!), at a coworker's recommendation I installed Proton Authenticator app and got that set up for my Google and Microsoft accounts, I warned friends and family to be on guard for any suspicious DM's, emails, and texts, and I've been going into all my banking and credit card websites to try setting up stronger verification requirements. (I am so pissed that most credit card companies don't want to "pay" for the authenticator app feature, but whatever.) I'm really really good at not clicking on links or falling for scams. If anyone calls me saying they're from my financial institution, I know the first thing you do is hang up and call them yourself to inquire. For the last month I...You know what? I apologize, let me get to the point.

I decided to take my shiny new debit card and load it into the Google Wallet app. I've read it's safer. However, when it says my bank wants to send me a code, it offers two phone numbers. The thing is, one of them isn't mine, and I don't recognize it, and I'm freaked out. YES, I have gone into my security settings, and my personal info settings and the number isn't there! I don't know how to remove it, and from what I've googled, I'm not the only one who is experiencing this. Needless to say, I'm not going to upload any payment methods until I figure out what's going on and how to scrub the number out.

Any ideas, tips, or trouble shooting instructions would be most appreciated! Thank you!

It can be overwhelming juggling a bunch of things and then have to deal with tapping your phone at TSA and waiting for it to register then it asks you to unlock it and press continue when you're in line in front of everyone and the agent is patiently waiting.

It would be nice if when I'm next in line, I can do the biometric unlock and pre-authorize sharing my info with TSA so when I step up, I just tap my phone.

To be honest after Lidl have reformed (polite euphemism..) their rewards loyalty scheme it's just doesn't justify keeping the Lidl standalone app but may be worth adding it to Google Wallet android app.

I've read conflicting a accounts on this however is it possible ?

In theory you can activate vouchers via the Lidl website and then copy the QR code number from the app onto Google Wallet under manual entry. Same as you do for Nectar etc.

The app seems like a way of Lidl captivating and engaging customers however after they've downgraded the value of the reward program I'm likely far less engaged anyway.

Thanks 😃

Hey everyone, everything was working fine till yesterday until I my wallet stopped working out of nowhere, mentioning my software isn't compatible and my phone could be rooted ( it's not rooted, no developer options turned on and no bootloader unlocks ).

I have tried everything from clearing cache and uninstalling wallet to clearing cache of play services and playstore...

I have also tried restarting the phone ( which says the wallet is updating when i check it from the notification bar ).

I'm still stuck, I'm sharing a picture of my google update hope that helps
